farkIN AMAZING!!!! Why isn't this being trumpeted from every liberal rooftop and website in the land?!?!?

Seriously?

The federal government stepping in at taking over is something to celebrate?

The need was being met locally at no cost to anyone.

Government expansion and intrusion into our lives is not something to celebrate.

So you're saying that the labor and materials used by the clinic, not to mention their rent, utilities, insurance, and other expenses, simply didn't exist? They somehow fall outside our meager understanding of economics? Or perhaps poor sick people walked in the clinic door, [A MIRACLE HAPPENED], and they walked out cured? That's incredible!

/Alternately, it could be that your brain isn't one of those "thinky" ones.

We don't need food stamps, that church runs a perfectly good food cupboard for the poor!

Because they've literally reached the completion of their mission. The people they used serve- the uninsured who couldn't qualify for Medicaid- are now being cared for because they can access care under the ACA. Since they went from serving over 80 patients a month in January to only 3 in the entire month of March, they realized they didn't need to continue to operate it.

And that's pretty damn spiffy, because not only are people getting medical care, but the resources being spent on the free clinic can go to other things now.

The current Clinic Director, Stacey Bowser, explained there were many mixed emotions involved in the decision but said overall, with the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the need is no longer present - the patients that the ministry opened for are now being served.

THANKS OBAMA!!!!!!

/and fark off all you backwards sociopathic f*cks that have spent the last 4+ years trying to derail this effort

Hey doofus, if I were unfortunate enough to have a deadly chronic illness that insurance companies wouldn't insure me for and "government expansion and intrusion" saved my farking life... I say they can expand and intrude all the fark they want, because I'm alive. I'd be celebrating like a motherfarker.

That is what people like you can't grasp... health care is life and death. Anything that prevents my immediate or short term death is welcome, and I really don't give a rolling rat fark who helps me or how they do it.

It was from the federal market place for my family of three with a net income of $3500/mo.

It's that lovely gap where I'm not at poverty and qualify for full subsidy and not rich enough to not have choose between healthcare or the mortgage.

The state of florida approved our Medicaid application. They'll be more than happy to cover my medical expenses after the $4000/momark.

Mighty farking nice of them. fark rick Scott.

Family of 3 -- I entered 2 non-smoking 35-year-old adults and child -- 42k/year. I picked Punta Gorda, Florida as your home. Came up with $239 per month out of your pocket, not $900 (link).

I went back through my application, entered the actual exact numbers for income (I had ballparked it $4000/mo and the actual number is $4050.change) and I'm discovered that I'm $405/year ($48825 vs actual $49300) over the threshold for the reduction in premium and reduction in out-of-pocket costs. The cheapest plan is $640/mo for a bottom end bronze plan to $1200/mo for a high-end platinum plan. The bronze plan is still more than my freaking mortgage payment.

I have no idea what the hell you're doing on that site. From healthcare.gov, the least expensive Silver plan from what you've told us:
